I mostly expected a TGS reveal for the big Japanese games.
Then there's 'august' for SNK to say something for KOF....

More in the sense of where are their next generation efforts. I am as excited as the next person for Ultimax and USFIV but I was hoping they would have new games to show. Specifically I thought maybe Capcom and Namco would have new fighting games to show off. It feels like a lot of what is on the horizon right now is just the usual base game upgrade repackaged into new products.

Japan has the first current gen streaming fighter around. They're leading the pack kappa.

In Japan, of course.
the competitive aspect of smash emerged organically. as a kid, I didn't see see or read about how the pros were doing it. I wanted to body my friends without any nonsense getting in the way, and we had a lot of fun going head to head. the post earlier about the competitive mode being a 'hack' has the wrong idea. it's more like a very popular set of house rules, which makes perfect sense for a party game. the whole idea is to suit the game to your needs. that vast non-competitive population is most certainly tweaking the game to their needs, doing laser swords only on high or turning off bob-ombs or agreeing to not pick a bullshit stage.

You don't understand what a hack is, H2H.

Well that certainly seems reasonable, surely just as designed.

Going to get hands in with Smash 4 today I'll let you guys know what's up.

The way people talk about Megaman is super weird to me, my brain can't even parse it sometimes. It's not even about the games anymore (which I love btw), people are so focused on the character itself. I wish I could think of a tv/film scene to capture what I mean because I've known I seen it, but it is like he's a real person or something dying from some disease appearing on Oprah and posters are in the audience. There's the cheers, the crying, etc. Shit has gotten too sappy now. Shenmue fans don't even get like this, what the hell. I thought it was just bitterness, but it's evolved now. Megaman is now alive and needs our help, or something.
EDIT:
Ever heard of house rules? These seem like fairly understandable: "Don't make the game unplayable". Other fighting games have similar things going on, because games are not perfect.
EDIT: I'm not going to say these are not "hacks", but you realize you could argue the idea of a tournament is a "hack".

If you have a moment, I just want to know one thing: do Samus' bombs (down-B) explode on a timer, or on contact?

Uhh... Namco has Tekken X Street Fighter and a bunch of other things to work on?
Come back for Tekken 7 in like.... 5 years.
I feel you. I saw your post in that E3 final smash hype video and I kinda felt the same. shits bizarre. it's not even like, saltiness over the franchise not getting enough attention or whatever, but something else. then again, Capcom has legitimately trolled the fuck out of megafans so who knows what that does to the fanboy psyche

Thanks.

Heard about USF4 on PS Now. Waiting to see how that will turn out.
Saw the character reveals.
Link to GGXrd demo?
Also, Ken the Eagle? From SF? What is this in reference to?

It's not worth your time. It wasn't worth anyone's time.
Is this coming from the Bridget die-hards?

Xrd demo stinks? That's a shame.
The Ken from G-Force/Gatchaman - dude in the bird suit from Tatsunoko VS Capcom.
They're jilted - been that way ever since the cancelation/PAX East double whammy.
The best thing to do is to let them commiserate with each other and steer clear of MM threads until each niche finds its spiritual successor to clamp onto.

Oh? But nothing FG related?
And I definitely was thinking Eagle from SF, forgot about Ken the Eagle from G-Force. Thanks for reminding me.
The GameSpot guy asking the questions knew absolutely nothing about Guilty Gear, or probably any fighting game. The ASW people answering the questions could only speak through a translator. The only game footage was a loop of a Sol vs. Ky match that included 2 minutes of cinematics. No new characters were revealed.

Someone play Olimar for me if you played him in Brawl. I wanna know how he's improved

I guess that's nothing new, but what I'm getting at is that the language some people use concerning the character is approaching creepy levels.

"approaching"
literally what we learned:
guilty gear is an anime & manga inspired game
there is heavy metal music
ky's guillotine chin is sharper than his own damn sword
I dunno. Hasn't TGS been kinda meh lately? A lot of the big reveals don't get saved for TGS anymore.

Olimar was already top tier in Brawl, fuck that

Do I give the impression of a Bridget die-hard?
Thinking about it now, the demo was oddly appropriate coming from Arc Sys

But yeah, fans are just really passionate. Really, really passionate. After all, the narrative is that it's all their fault the series has fallen apart - I don't agree with it, but it's too late to change it now. They're bound to take everything personally, and when things get personal, people stop filtering themselves. Combine that with the shushing and put-downs from other fandoms, and it's basically them VS the world. The 4 years of poor, poor decisions from Capcom in general have not done much to redeem the company, either.
It's an entirely different set of producer/consumer and fan-to-fan relationships than what most gamers are used to, and some posters react to everything MM-related in a metacontextual way. All the time. Every time. No matter what. It's just the state of the fandom at this point.

I'd just really like to know what's up that apparently makes Dash Dancing impossible in the current build of Smash 4. It's like, the previous barrier to entry on that technique (tripping) was kicked the fuck out, how could something else come along to prevent playing footsies in a game that is like this?
Don't do this to me when I finally perfected that shit man.

This is only going to "go away" if Capcom puts out a legitimate Megaman game and does the character some justice.
Right now it's not MM fans VS the world... it's more like the world against Capcom. People praise Nintendo for doing MM justice while in the same sentence shit on Capcom and this is also coming from people who have not played a MM game. MM is pretty much Helly Kitty status now, his origin does not matter as much as his iconic mascot status and his merchandising.
Once Capcom makes a Megaman game and it bombs then the blame is shifted back on the fans and the reality comes out.... MM by himself does not move a ton of game sales and the MM fanbase that actually buys the games is the very definition of a vocal minority.

How does anyone think this game looks good? Jesus Christ it looks so bad, the animations are straight D tier & so choppy. How can anyone watch this game & not turn away cause it's so hard to look at.
